Leiria promotes health in Monte Real, Bajouca, Ortigosa and Maceira

Região de Leiria14 September 2026 at 14:20

The municipality of Leiria is promoting health activities through the "Leiria Saúde" program, which will travel through several parishes of the municipality in the coming months. This initiative aims to bring health and wellness services to local communities.

Among the parishes covered by the program are Monte Real, Bajouca, Ortigosa and Maceira. These localities will receive health promotion actions integrated into this municipal campaign.

The "Leiria Saúde" program represents an effort by the municipality of Leiria to bring health services closer to the population residing in the different areas of the municipality, facilitating access to information and preventive health care.

The initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote community health, contributing to disease prevention and the promotion of healthy lifestyles among the inhabitants of the parishes of the Leiria municipality.

Why this matters

Residents of these parishes will have access to health promotion services in their own territory, avoiding trips to the city center. The program is part of a proximity strategy by the municipality to improve access to primary health care in rural areas of the Leiria municipality.

Gaia: Menezes surrounded by suspicions, "corruptions" and lawsuits

The municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia and its municipal companies are under intense judicial scrutiny due to multiple investigations into corruption, manipulation of public procurement and political favoritism. Operation "Águas Turvas" revealed alleged fraud schemes at Águas de Gaia company, with estimated damages of around eight million euros, leading to the preventive detention of former director José António Martins and contractor António Santos Mota. The former chairman of the board Miguel Lemos Rodrigues was formally charged with corruption, abuse of power and influence peddling, while former mayor Eduardo Vítor Rodrigues was made a defendant on suspicions of payments to Global Media for editorial conditioning. Alongside these investigations, questions arise about false academic qualifications of a municipal director, contested political appointments and Operation Babel, focused on urban licensing worth 300 million euros.
